Hi Italo, I fully agree with the sentiment, but disagree with your take on the ability of the platform in question. The wiki is a tool and one that only hides details from the general public by obscurity (well, without a fair bit of re-configuration anyway). A CMS on the other hand allows the website to be constructed in such a way that different content goes to different types of users - so a non-registered user could easily be kept from seeing any work in progress. while works in progress that need to be available to the community members are so, and even then can be controlled as to who sees what, and what they can do with it. So of course the wiki is a tool that is going be used, but the process of design, as is ongoing here, and then implementation via a CMS, such as Drupal or Silverstripe for that matter, is precisely a mechanism for delivery of a system that performs in the way you describe, IMO.
